Bushido

When a contract killer discovers he assassinated the wrong man, his escape is complicated by the crime families hunting him in this gritty thriller from New York Times bestselling author Brad Taylor.

His mission is simple: Take out the Yakuza boss at Matsumoto Castle. Luke Thorne has done worse. Or so he thought, before he learns he’s executed the wrong Obayun. Now, he’s on the run from two rival families through unfamiliar territory, with no one to rely on but himself, his elite military skills, and the knowledge that he was set up. He just has to prove it.

Brad Taylor’s Bushido is part of Pursuit, a gripping collection of short stories that explore what it means to be predator and prey … and what it takes to gain the upper hand. Read or listen to each pulse-pounding story in a single sitting—and an intense adrenaline rush.
